You guys are just too good.

Okay, here is a PART from an aircraft. Can you identify what part it is and what aircraft it is from?

The love of the mere essence of a Beech Staggerwing knows no limits, (or depths..)

"Holy Smokes!"

Lockheed Constellation parts ......

How in the world do you guys like Siddley Hawker get to know all this neat stuff about airplanes?

Sorry, its not a Constellation part.

I recognized the part from from model aircraft kits I built over the years of a very popular WWII aircraft.

Does this help?

Is it from an Invader, A-26?

Well it is built by North American and it's not a nosewheel aircraft. Didn't you guys build models of your favorite planes?

Right on! Did you recognize the part without the hints?

Here is the website the photo is from. Lots of really nice WWI era 4x5 Kodachromes. http://pavel-kosenko.livejournal.com/30 ... d=22669914

Great looking model Barney. You should put the build on Swanny's. That's where I hang around, I did a blow-by-blow of those two 1:24 Beavers I built for HS748's dad on that site. Currently throwing together a PBY over there.

To answer the question about the carb air scoop..

I have never seen a set up like in that picture....and I have seen a lot of PBY's.

Thanks Jim...The 1:32 Tamiya Mustang is a really marvelous piece of engineering..probably the finest kit ever produced.

Thanks ., I'll pass that along. That shot was a Royal Danish AF -5A. I though it may have been a one-off, but in another picture there was a -6A in the background and it had the same setup.

Here is a bunch of Royal Canadians flying what type:

Grumman Goblin

G'day

These Grumman Goblins belong to No. 118 (F) Squadron based at R.C.A.F. Station Rockcliffe, Ontario. The photo was taken in the spring of 1941. The squadron moved to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia on the 16th of July, 1941 becoming part of Eastern Air Command. They were the east coast's first line of air defence for a period of time.

Incidentally, the wing tip belongs to a Harvard Mk. II.

Cheers...Chris

Is that a grasshopper?

Lost in Saigon · Post by **Lost in Saigon** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 6:19 pm

Cessna Bird Dog. But I didn't know Canada operated any.

Did Canada call them "Bird Dogs" or something else?

Beefitarian · Post by **Beefitarian** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 6:26 pm

Cabin looks too short to be a Birddog but I'm wrong lots. Must be from Korea.

Old Dog Flying · Post by **Old Dog Flying** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 6:58 pm

It is an L-19. And yes it is Canadian Army
